Treatment clients referred from the court for drug or alcohol treatment are most commonly referred because they are being given a chance to receive rehabilitation rather than face jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is more prevalent with first time offenders, it can happen at any time such as while someone is being held in jail. There are different types of programs that criminal justice clients may be referred to, and this depends on what is attainable in Berne and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are recovery programs that work directly with the courts to administer to this explicit type of clientele, and are usually state or federally funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private drug and alcohol recovery facilities that may be accepted by the court if there is a specific type of rehabilitation that the person requires or prefers that a different facility can't fulfill. The defendant's legal representation can propose such alternatives to the judge for acceptance. There are even drug rehab facilities that operate out of the jails themselves, in which case clients are sometimes in a better position for reduced sentences or other leniencies when engaging in addiction treatment services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
